OPINION
JANE B. STRANCH, Circuit Judge.
Erika Gentry appeals the district court’s opinion affirming the decision of the Commissioner of Social Security to deny her disability benefits. Substantial evidence on the record as a whole establishes that Gentry is disabled by multiple physical impairments. Because the Commissioner’s decision rejecting Gentry’s application is not supported by substantial evidence and is flawed in several respects, we REVERSE and REMAND for an award of benefits.
